Imagine having the following two conversations: A Conversation Without Interest “Hi Bob” “Hey Jim” “How was your weekend?” A Conversation With Genuine Interest “Hi Bob!” What Genuine Interest Says Which of the above two conversations would you rather be involved in if you were Bob? Well, yes, the conversation is “flowing”, but it’s about to be shut off really soon. And that’s exactly the point! Now consider the second conversation where Jim shows genuine interest in Bob.

Conversation Skills / Tips: How To Have A Good Conversation Subscribe in a reader Dec Are you a web programmer familiar with LAMP stack and want to work from home? Please fill out an application here! Full time job, salaries range from around $1,000-$6,000/month. Do you have awkward silences in your conversations or not know what to say? 1) Be Genuinely Interested – The point of a conversation is to communicate with the other person, meaning you need to actually want to talk them to begin with! If you actually have something to say, you can always state your reason for wanting to talk to the other person. Of course, if you did state your desires and the other person looks like he/she feels nervous or uncomfortable with the subject, stop. Even if you are genuinely interested in someone, they might not want to satisfy your particular interest. Therefore, it’s always good to smile and appear friendly and harmless. For example, as I am writing this article on the train, a guy just sat next to me and started asking me, “Where are you from?”
Wine for Debian based distributions Installing WineHQ packages If you have previously installed a Wine package from another repository, please remove it and any packages that depend on it (e.g., wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks) before attempting to install the WineHQ packages, as they may cause dependency conflicts. If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already): sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 Add the repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds Update packages: sudo apt-get update Then install (example for the development branch): sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel If you prefer to use the Staging branch, replace `winehq-devel` with `winehq-staging` in the line above. If apt-get complains about missing dependencies, install them, then repeat the last two steps (update and install). If you have previously used the distro packages, you will notice some differences in the WineHQ ones: Files are installed to /opt/wine-devel. Installing without Internet Compiling WoW64
4 Top Reasons Why You Should Be Interested In People « Excel Beyond Excellence! at wekie.com Just got back from Batam, Indonesia, after giving a talk at a major company’s retreat event.

I understand that you love reading about new tips, tricks, and advice on how to do “this’ or how to conquer ‘that’… but are you really using any of it, I wonder? I love reading about these topics as much as the next guy, believe me, but there comes a time when we must ask ourselves, “Am I really gaining anything from reading these articles? Is just knowing a solution exists enough for you? I know that there are great many of you who come here and have read every word on this blog, but haven’t practiced every word. It’s not fair to you and it’s not fair to the guy who writes this blog. I’m not. “You know, I never thought about this before. First things first: 1. Do one thing at a time.
7 career lessons from Tina Fey’s “Bossypants” Celebrities don’t always make the best role models. For every Bono and Oprah Winfrey there is a real housewife of [choose your city] screaming at her supposed friend in a busy restaurant. Celebrities don’t always make the best authors either. Fortunately that’s not the case with Tina Fey’s half-autobiography/half-musings “Bossypants.” In case you don’t get the chance to read “Bossypants” or you’re currently too busy rereading the “Harry Potter” series in preparation of the final film, here are seven lessons every worker can learn from Tina Fey: 1. “[The] Rule of Agreement reminds you to ‘respect what your partner has created’ and to at least start from an open-minded place,” Fey explains. You’re going to strongly dislike many people you work with or for. 2. “To me, ‘Yes, and’ means don’t be afraid to contribute,” she writes. Good bosses don’t just promote nice workers; they promote employees who are ready for the next level. 3. 4. 5. In the workplace there are accidents. 6. 7.
The Best Piece Of Writing Advice What is the best piece of advice you ever got about how to get better at writing? For me, it wasn't so much a piece of advice as it was a self-realization. I got better at writing (much better, in fact) by reading books that we were written by comedians... and that's no joke. There is truth in comedy. Marketing is about telling a story. It's not always the content... sometimes it's just the style. The generalization is this: the best comics are even better writers. The big trick. The best piece of writing advice is not to read the jokes of comedians. What's the best piece of writing advice you ever received? By Mitch Joel How to learn a language in hours, not years I get told so many times that someone has been studying Spanish/French/Japanese/etc. for five, ten (or whatever) years. Despite this, in most cases, if they tell me how many years they have been studying it, it’s usually a precursor to “but… I don’t speak it!” This is usually to justify how hard their language is, how stupid they are, or how the universe is against them and that they will never speak the language. If I plan to speak a language in just three months, they say that clearly it’s because I have some secret formula I’ve been hiding from you all, or it’s down to my superior language genes, right? Once again this is due to a way of looking at their work and progress that I have to say is crap. It’s a grossly inefficient measuring system, and understanding that will help you see why you can’t speak your language despite “years” of work. The quality of your “years” is pathetic The only thing you have actually spent the last five years doing is breathing.
